A good foundation, hiding the shortcomings: reviews, brands, selection and method of application

Virtually no woman applies makeup without a tonal foundation that can hide not only small skin imperfections, such as uneven tone, circles under the eyes due to fatigue, but also quite noticeable redness, wrinkles, pimples. A tonal cream that hides skin imperfections can also spoil the entire image if the tone is picked up incorrectly or the remedy is applied unprofessionally. Also, the cream may not be of very good quality, albeit expensive in price. How to choose a good foundation, hiding flaws? Reviews about expensive and budgetary funds, the rating of the best and the rules for applying to the skin of the face, we have provided in this article.

Types of foundation creams

Tonal means differ not only in origin and price, but also in their qualities: texture, amount of coloring particles, humidity, the presence of additional components and vitamins. It is for these criteria that every woman chooses the right cream for her. Let's consider the basic types of tonal means:

1. Liquid foundation. This is an ideal option for evening make-up, it perfectly aligns the skin tone, makes its surface visually more even, velvety. This product is suitable for normal and combination skin.
2. Mousse is able to even out the texture of the skin, but absolutely useless for hiding the flaws. Suitable for day use. Thanks to the weightless formula it does not clog pores, it is ideal for mature, oily and problem skin.
3. Cream powder is a favorite tool for many women. This matte foundation is ideal for concealing deficiencies in oily skin. It smooths the tone, removes greasy shine, hides redness and pimples. The minus of this remedy is his shedding. One of the most popular means of this type is the "Meibelin" foundation. We will write comments about it in the future in the content of the article.
4. Cream-fluid is suitable for dry skin, as it perfectly moisturizes. It is also ideal for make-up in hot summer weather. The disadvantage of this tool is one - the inability to hide even the most minor flaws, since it contains a minimal amount of pigmenting components.
5. Cream camouflage is a real find for those who want to have the ideal face skin, but it is not. Camouflage is made on a water-repellent basis, has a large number of toning components. Ideally hides all the shortcomings, including acne, redness, pigmentation. Minus one - it is removed only with the help of a special tool.

Choose the right cream correctly

The quality of makeup depends on the properly selected basis - foundation. Professional make-up artists recommend choosing the means to use proven methods and tips:

• Select the tone of the foundation is only in daylight. Lamps can distort the color of the product and skin, impart a yellow or gray shade.
• In order to understand if the tone is suitable for skin color, it is necessary to apply a thin layer on the inner side of the wrist, it is good to shade.
• It is important to have two types of foundation: for day and evening makeup. In the daytime, do not use funds with a dense texture, choose a cream-fluid or mousse, they perfectly level the tone, but the shortcomings do not hide. In the daytime, camouflage cream will appear to be a "mask". Mousse is not suitable for evening make-up, since artificial lighting will make skin imperfections even more noticeable, a more dense texture is required.
• Depending on the expected result, it is necessary to choose the type of tonal facility. The most popular is the liquid base, since it is suitable for any type of skin, hides all obvious imperfections; Stik moisturizes dry skin, eliminates peeling; Powder masks greasy luster.

How to apply a foundation to hide flaws?

Not every representative of the fair sex can boast of perfect skin. Pigmented spots, peeling, enlarged pores, fatty shine, redness - this is not the whole list of imperfections that women try to hide. In order to visually make the skin of the face more healthy and smooth, it is not enough to choose an expensive and good foundation that hides imperfections. The responses of specialists say: it is necessary to apply it correctly in order to achieve the desired effect.

• Before applying a foundation, you need to cleanse your face, if necessary, use a scrub.
• Dry or sensitive skin before applying a masking agent should be moistened with a nutritious cream so that facial or age wrinkles do not become visually more noticeable.
• Expanded pores can be hidden with a tonal cream, which contains silicone.
• A greasy shine will hide the matte foundation, it will also suit women who have wrinkles (a cream with a flickering effect will make them more noticeable).
• Freckles can be hidden under a layer of cream with the effect of sunburn. It should be placed in circular motions in zones subject to disguise, and then shade on the temples, neck, area near the auricles.
• Redness, rashes and inflammation are difficult to hide at all. Dense tonal base will help out only in the evening, for daytime make-up will not work. Experts advise to put on face mousse or cream-fluid. In order to hide imperfections by these means, it is necessary to put them in two layers with light patting movements and with only pads of fingers.
• For concealment of the first wrinkles, a greasy foundation cream will help, it should be applied with a wide brush. This will allow to mask the age manifestations as much as possible.

Rules of application of a voice-frequency cream

Experts advise to apply makeup to buy a fluorescent lamp. It will help in the evening more effectively apply cosmetics. The tonal cream should be used carefully, avoid the "mask effect", for this, the remedy is taken in small portions and rubbed into the face in a circular motion. In order to make the tone seem more natural, it is worthwhile to apply not only to the face, but also to the skin of the neck, the decollete zone.

Initially cream of a lighter shade treated areas of the skin around the eyes - under the eyebrow line and lower eyelid. After that, the main tone is applied to the T-shaped zone, distributed along the forehead, nose, cheeks and temples. Borders should not be, every zone should be carefully shaded. Lastly, the cream is applied to the neck, the decollete zone.

Advice from professionals

Today we reviewed the rating of the most popular among women's foundation creams, learned to select for themselves the one that will hide the shortcomings to the maximum. I want to share tips of makeup artists on applying a foundation to visually "fix" the oval face:

• To bring the triangular or trapezoid face closer to the oval, the foundation of the tone should be light, whiskey, chin and forehead should be darkened with a tone darker;
• To emphasize the correct oval, you can also use a darker tone, which is applied to the cheek zone from the cheeks to the temples;
• The corners of the square face can be hidden, putting a more dark tone on the area of the chin and cheeks;
• The round face too can be adjusted a little, shading a dark tone on area of cheeks.

Every time, do not forget to shade borders well! Only then makeup will look imperceptible and beautiful.
